The measure of your physical health and material prosperity is in direct proportion to your soul prospering. We have looked at three areas so far that must be functional in your life in order for your soul to prosper, 1. Rest (peace and sabbath that come from casting our cares and worries on Christ and trusting Him to provide and care for us) 2. Removing Judgements (not allowing a root of bitterness to spring up, practicing forgiveness, seeing others through the eyes of Jesus) and 3. Magnifying the Lord (focusing on His benefits instead of magnifying our fears or problems.) This week we are beginning principal 4. Let every Soul be Subject.
